Roy Lichtenstein: Early Black and White Paintings

0/5 ( ratings)

A key figure in the Pop art movement, Roy Lichtenstein was inspired by images from comic books, newspaper advertisements and mail order catalogues, cheaply printed images whose look was as far from official "art" as one could imagine. With their simplified hand-drawn lines, they were also about as clarified as image-making can get. In response to the dumb beauty of pulp imagery and the strange powers of black and white images to stimulate our eyes, Lichtenstein made some of his most essential, enduring paintings. The apparently simple paintings of single objects--a tire, a curtain, a sock, a diamond brooch, a golf ball--project riveting clarity and an astonishing newness that are the bedrock of his art, and of Pop art itself.
